General construction: permits, planning, hiring
Site access and logistics planning for deliveries
A good building can still be held up by a road that trucks cannot use. Plan access, storage and lifting before orders arrive.
A good building can still be held up by a road that trucks cannot use. Plan access, storage and lifting before orders arrive.
Check the route
Drive the route that delivery vehicles will take. Check width, turning radius, overhead lines, bridges, weight limits, and local time restrictions. For long or oversize loads ask the carrier about permits.
Plan the site
- Where trucks stop and unload.
- Laydown area for materials, protected from weather and theft.
- Crane or forklift position and swing area.
- Temporary fencing, power, water and toilets.
- Neighbor and traffic impact.
Delivery process
Agree delivery windows, who receives, and how to inspect. Use a receiving checklist and record damage with the damage template.
Safety
Control pedestrians and vehicles on site. OSHA provides material on site safety for construction; follow your local equivalent.
Write it down
Write a short logistics plan and share it with suppliers. See the small-development logistics plan.
Quick answers
- Who is responsible for unloading? The delivery terms and contract state it. Confirm before ordering.
- Do I need a street permit? Possibly for closures or parking. Ask the local authority.
- Where should materials be stored? Off the ground, covered and protected, per the manufacturer.
Rules differ by country, state and city. Confirm requirements with your local authority having jurisdiction and with the licensed professionals on your project; nothing here is legal, engineering or financial advice.
